Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey lady, let me tell you why

I can't live my life without you (Oh, baby)

[Verse 2]

Every time I see you walkin' by, I get a thrill

You don't notice me, but in time, you will

I must make you understand

[Verse 3]

I want to be your man (I want to be your man)

I want to be your man (Yes I do, yeah, yeah)

I want to be your man (I want to be your man)

I want to be your man (Want to be your man)

[Verse 4]

You better not pass me by

'Cause if you do, you'll lose a good thing (Oh, baby)

'Cause what I've got to say

Is sealed with a kiss, and a wedding ring (Wedding ring)

[Verse 5]

Ooh, my mind is blind, at times I can't see anyone but you

Those other girls don't matter, no, they can't spoil my view

I must make you understand

[Verse 6]

I want to be your man (I want to be your man)

I want to be your man (Yes I do, yeah, yeah)

I want to be your man (I want to be your man)

I want to be your man (Want to be your man)

[Verse 7]

Words can never say what I feel, it's too intense

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I've tried, I've tried, I've tried, I've tried to tell you how I feel

But I get mixed up (So mixed up)

[Verse 8]

My mind is blind, at times I can't see anyone but you

Those other girls don't matter, no, they can't spoil my view

I must make you understand

[Verse 9]

I want to be your man (I want to be your man)

I want to be your man (Yes I do, yeah, yeah)

I want to be your man (I want to be your man)

I want to be your man (Want to be your man)

[Verse 10]

I want to be your man (I want to be your man)

I want to be your man (Yes I do)

I want to be your man

I want to be your man (Want to be your man)

I want to be your man (Yes I do, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 11]

I want to be your man (I want to be your man)
